Why Meal Plans Don’t Work

Rachel KingLeave a comment

SHOW NOTES: Episode 19

I hear it all of the time, “Can you just write me a meal plan?”

It makes sense but I’m going to explain to you on this episode why meal plans actually don’t work and why I don’t write meal plans for you when we start working together. 

1. Changing your habits can take time. 

Remember your eating habits have been formed over several years so changing those habits will take some time. Meals don’t work because there are way too many habit changes happening all at once. As I tell my clients, baby step your way to greatness. Don’t set yourself up for failure by completely changing everything in one day. Make small changes as you go. 

2. Meal plans don’t allow for special circumstances or substitutions.

Meal plans teach you to eat one way and to follow that way perfectly. Imagine you had a vacation planned or a work trip planned…it would actually cause you stress to not be able to eat exactly as you had planned on that trip which could cause you to feeling like you failed. 

Meal plans also don’t teach you that there are hundreds of substitutions for certain foods. What if you get tired of eating the same thing every day? What if that food isn’t in season or isn’t available but it’s on your meal plan? You may feel like giving up. Working with a coach who teaches you nutrition will help you to actually enjoy eating and you won’t feel like you are held captive by a piece of paper that tells you exactly what to do. If you follow that piece of paper, you will never learn to make choices about the food you are eating and actually listen to what you body is telling you.

3. Meal plans are NOT budget friendly.

If your meal plan called for a salad one night but not the rest of the week, your produce will go bad before you can eat it again. That is money wasted. I teach my clients how to use the same ingredients in different ways so there is little to no waste.

Don’t fall into a vicious cycle of meal planning. You know what I’m talking about. You go off of your plan one night and then end up ordering pizza and say you’ll start again another day. You feel frustrated and want to give up.

So what can you do instead?

When you hire me as your coach, I work with you to create a plan that works best for you. It’s customizable and it can be changed as we go. You will have the knowledge you need to make food decisions on your own after working with me. You no longer have to have someone tell you what you can and can’t eat. You know what works for you and your body and how to feed yourself.

If this sounds like what you are looking for, go to www.rachelking.org/coaching and watch my program video and fill out the application to work with me. We’ll then have a conversation to see if we are a good fit and I’ll explain to you how I can help.

Remember above all else, reach out to God first and foremost and He will give you the tools and armor that you need to overcome anything and come out successful on the other side – even with food and weight loss!

MORE ABOUT FEED YOURSELF: HEALTHY HABITS FOR THE MIND, BODY, & SOUL PODCAST:

Feed Yourself: Healthy Habits for the Mind, Body, & Soul is all about learning the key components of overall health based on Biblical principles. When most people think about getting in shape and becoming “healthy”, they immediately think about their physical health: losing weight, making exercise a priority, possessing flexibility and endurance, and remaining disease free. But Scripture makes it clear that physical wellness is not the only area that impacts health. In order to be TRULY healthy, we have to focus on four areas: spiritual health, emotional health, mental health, and physical health. 

This podcast dives deep into the tools and head knowledge you will need in order to create lasting results, but it also looks at the element that truly ties it all together – the heart knowledge that incorporates faith in God in this area of our lives and how to apply it when things get tough (and they will!).

I wanted to create a space to let you know you are never alone on this journey. Through years of experience in doing everything the WRONG way, I am here to share my journey of getting healthy from the inside out – ditching the restriction and diet culture and truly learning to treat my body as the temple God intended it to be.

Cultivating a Healthy Relationship with Money with Eileen Joy

Rachel KingLeave a comment

SHOW NOTES: Episode 5

Imagine having a healthy relationship with money. How would that look for you and your family? 

Today’s guest, Eileen Joy, is here talking all about money. Eileen is a money coach for moms. She shows moms how to create wealth without the sacrifice and still enjoy their lives so they can stop living paycheck to paycheck and have a healthy relationship with money. She also shows them how to teach their kids about money so they can be set for life.

Eileen shares where top tips for making money easy. We talk a lot about normalizing talking about money in your home. It often feels like the topic of money is something we can’t talk about but it’s so important to normalize it.

Eileen shares the four buckets and how she helps others allocate their money properly into those buckets. We chat about the money mindset and how important that is. Mindset is important in general for all areas of your life, and money mindset is no different. How you were taught about money and what you think about money shapes how you spend your money.

We talk about the misconceptions that people have about money, the importance of having conversations about money, how money does’t have to be bad, and how keeping up with the Jones’s can leave you broke. Eileen talks about going through your social media and maybe taking a break from certain people that make you feel like you need to go into debt to keep up. 

We are meant to live a life full of joy and purpose and to teach our kids the same. Money should be something that helps with that, not causes stress and worry.

This conversation was a great one and I can’t wait for you to take a listen!

Thank you for tuning in! I hope this episode helped you. I’d love to chat more about it on Instagram (@rachelmeigsking)!

“People-Pleasing” Eating with Amanda Kaldor

Rachel KingLeave a comment

SHOW NOTES: Episode 3

Have you ever felt like you had to eat something to please others?

Maybe you were at a barbecue or a church event and you feel like you were obligated to eat to make others happy.

Did “people-pleasing” eating become part of your identity? 

Today’s guest, Amanda Kaldor and I chat more about that. Amanda is a Christian weight loss and life coach who left her job as an RN to be of greater impact in supporting women in caring for their temples, mind, body, and soul. Amanda coaches women to reclaim their self-control around food so they live life to the fullest with confidence and joy. She and I serve clients in similar ways and we are both here to help and serve.

Amanda and I chat more about people-pleasing eating and what that can look like. A big thing that she coaches her clients on when they feel compelled to eat to people please, is to plan their food. Plan ahead of time what you are going to eat at a function that you go to.

Amanda and I chat about how to deal with setting those boundaries and not feeling like we are coming across as rude when we don’t eat just to please others. Amanda shares the importance of being aware of it first and foremost. You have control over say no or yes to food. You get to choose that but you don’t get to choose how the other person is going to think. You can decline food and tell others thank them for thinking of you. You have that control.

At the end of the day, you are responsible for your own body. What kind of responsibility do you have towards your temple? Do you want to be responding according to somebody else or do you want to be responding according to how your body is signaling you?

God created you to take care of your temple and listen to yourself. Embrace that. Don’t let the emotions of others change the responsibility that you have to take care of yourself. What matters is that you are in alignment with what God has called you to do. He’s the one you need to please ultimately.

When you feel in a position where you are eating out of “people-pleasing” tendencies, ask yourself why…and remember that you can say no with love and grace.

Thank you for tuning in! I hope this episode helped you. I’d love to chat more about it on Instagram (@rachelmeigsking)!

IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:

  • “People-Pleasing” eating
  • What to do when you find yourself in this situation
  • How we are ultimately responsible for our bodies
